Obama supporter here. After careful consideration of the evidence

[shadowknows69]

I don't believe there was any malfeasence on Kantor's part. I believe what he said matches the transcript of the film. I don't believe it (youtube clip)was doctored in any way but it is easy to understand how it could have been misunderstood. I will now humbly suffer all slings and arrows.

1. I think part of the confusion is that there actually was . .

. . a doctored version brought out this morning at KOS. There's a thread up here . .

. . that pretty much verifies that. If you heard "white nigger" it could very well have been in the clip you listened to. But now that's it's been revealed as a hoax you are doing the honorable thing. Thanks

3. So, the initial clip that we heard this morning was doctored?

I listened to the video several times and I heard Kantor say the bad things that
were initially suggested.

I listened repeatedly with the volume way up and I had my ear to the speakers. I could hear it.

Are people now saying that this was a hoax? That what I heard (the "shit" comment,
and then the N word) were on the tape, but that they were intentionally put in the
tape, but they were not Kantor's words?

And now, there clearly shows a disparity between the original clip---and this doctored
clip?

I'm just trying to understand what the reality is.

The sad thing about all of this, is that it is so difficult to get to the truth these
days. There is so much spinning...from all side. There is also so much exhaustion and
anger, due to this primary--which creates a difficult environment.

I would just like to know the truth.

4. I Heard the "They are Shit" Comment Pretty Clearly

I'm wondering if the way it was doctored was to turn the volume down on the second syllable of "shitting." That would leave it in Kantor's voice.

The "white ******" comment could easily have been simple suggestion. The way some people hear Tickle Me Elmo saying all sorts of obscene things.

with James Carville in such close proximity. :think:
